It's the trailing
semicolon
(;)
that
does
the trick. It makes the end of one
PRINT
line con-
tinue right on to the next
PRINT
line without activating
a carriage return.
The combination
of
TAB
and trailing
semicolon allows you almost infinite flexibility in
formatting
the
output.

As our
parting
shot in this easy
lesson,
we're
going
to have a sneak preview of
what's
ahead.
Replace lines
